World A.B.S, a company with a reputation for honesty and innovation, have created what we believe to be the most advanced Tongkat/Longjack product on the market today.
Read why below...
Better than 1:200 Extracts!
TKA 1:200 started out as a basic 1:200 ratio Tongkat extract, sometimes written as 200:1, hence the name. In theory, this means a massive 200 kilos of raw root is used to produce just 1 single kilo of extract. Unfortunately there is no way to verify extract ratios, leading to a lot of fraud in the herbal market with some manufacturers often falsifying their ratios before supplying wholesalers and retailers.
Using 199 kilos of a rare plant that takes many years to grow and was declared a protected species in Malaysia due to over harvesting, just to produce 1 lousy kilo of extract, is obviously not sustainable or practical and would be very costly, making it unlikely that anyone would do so unless for study purposes. It certainly wouldn't be used in cheap supplements, of that you can be certain!
What is labeled as 1:200 may in fact be just 1:20 or less, or not even an extract at all and instead just wholeroot, which is the raw roots dried out and ground into a powder. This will contain mostly cellulose and very few active constituents, and is around 20 dollars per kilo because of this. This doesn't stop some brands, such as Solaray, from marketing it as a potent supplement though.
Some products even use the leaves and/or bark instead of the root, which will contain even less activie constituents than the wholeroot. In this industry it is very hard to know what you are buying.
The screen-shot below shows a Chinese export director admitting they falsify ratios when asked why all their ratios are the same and suspected to be Tribulus. He probably thought that like many retailers, we wouldn't care.
I can happily forward the email with full details, i.p address, etc, to anyone that wants it to prove it's a genuine screenshot.
Is it even real?
At least in the previous scenarios you get the correct species of plant! Many times it's just a substitute herb such as Tribulus, which looks and tastes very similar and can even have similar feeling effects, leading people to believe it's genuine and leave a good review.
Indeed, when the Journal of Applied Science tested 40 different brands from Amazon, most were found to be either fake or too weak to be effective. That report can be found in our buyers guide here along with lots of other useful info about fraud in the herbal market.
Some products have even been found to contain man made substances, such as those used in the pill that sounds like Niagara, which costs less to produce but can be lethal if you have a medical condition or reaction to it. The most notable of which was "XP Supreme" which impregnated the capsule shells instead of mixing it with the powder to try to avoid detection. You can read the report here.
Even when the stated ratio is genuine, the strength and quality of the same ratio can vary wildly between brands and batches due to variations in things such as the quality and age of the plant, which parts were used, how and where it was grown, the way it was extracted, the type of extract solvents used, the temperatures used and the exposure times to them, the drying method etc. Every little thing can make a big difference and so a higher number does not mean better.
Standardization to the Rescue!
Standardisation, also spelt standardization depending on country, allows manufacturers to monitor and adjust the desired active constituents within an extract, either during extraction or after. This ensures each batch has a consistent quality and potency regardless of other factors, making the actual extract ratio irrelevant.
Standardising extracts to a well known and studied active constituent found only within the plant used, such as eurycomanone in this case, also ensures the product is real, since if it was fake it wouldn't contain any eurycomanone at all.
World A.B.S were one of the very first companies to implement standardization and others are now slowly following suit.
A great article on the importance of standardization can be found here.
2.4% Eurycomanone
The Optimal Ratio!
TKA 1:200 is now standardised via HPLC to 2.4% eurycomanone!
2.4% is regarded by World A.B.S as the optimal amount, since there are over 90 active constituents within the plant, including several types of eurycomanone, as seen in the image below taken from a research site. You may need to zoom in!
Each constituent may have effects of its own and/or work in unison with others, so it's best to have a full spectrum extract. Taking any one constituent too high would mean lowering others too much, or eliminating them altogether, removing some of the plant's natural benefits.
Of course, some manufacturers might pretend their extract is standardised when it isn't, with some even claiming 10%+ eurycomanone at prices so low you would struggle to find even a basic extract so cheap. Retailers could test these percentages to prove they are false if they wanted, but many don't bother as the profit margins are too tempting. Ignorance is bliss!
Real 10% extracts do of course exist, but tend to have just 100mg of extract per capsule or less, fewer capsules per bottle, and are very expensive per gram. You pay more and receive less, as explained below...
400mg of a 2.4% eurycomanone extract, such as the one we sell, is always going to be better than 100mg of a 10% extract, since it will contain almost the same amount of eurycomanone (9.6mg versus 10mg) but also a much larger amount of other active ingredients (390.4mg versus just 90mg) at a much cheaper price per gram. You could take twice the amount and still pay less!
The original name "TKA 1:200" remains on the bottle simply to make it easier to find during shopping and image searches, as the vast majority of shoppers are still searching for 1:200 extracts and have no idea standardised extracts exist and are superior, they just think a higher number is better. Hopefully the name leads them to this site where they can read the above and become more educated.
Warning: Some products are standardized mainly to pointless constituents such as the following...
Polysaccharides: Long-chain polymeric carbohydrates composed of monosaccharide units bound together by glycosidic linkages.
Peptides: A protein component composed of two or more amino acids bonded in a chain, taken from the eurycoma plant, renamed and registered as eurypeptides by Biotropics Malaysia, a malaysian manufacturer of longjack, to sound unique in their own product and self made research studies.
Glycosaponins: Polysaccharides made up of glucose and saponins.
All of the above are just marketing buzz words and in reality are very common constituents found in most plants and foods, and of little to no benefit in a supplement of this kind. If you want mainly polysaccharides, peptides and glucose, just eat some fruit or vegatables etc, it's cheaper.
Non-biased scientific studies by researchers who are not trying to sell you anything, make no mention of the above at all and instead refer to the many proven active constituents shown in the earlier image, such as eurycomanone and eurycomanol etc, as those have shown to be responsible for it's effects in hundreds of studies and tests produced over many years.
Increased Absorption with DRS Capsules.
This is what makes TKA 1:200 truly stand out from the competition!
Some of the active constituents are acid sensitive, meaning when consumed as raw powder their peak oral bio-availability (the amount that can be absorbed and used by the body) is approximately just 14% or less, and around 33% when administered in a standard capsule.
When administered in DRS (Delayed Release System) capsules however, the peak bio-availability increases to approximately 52%.
This is because DRS capsules have a gastro-resistant enteric coating, which allows them to pass through the stomach's gastric acid unharmed, and instead slowly break down in the small intestine where the contents are directly released into and better absorbed by the body. This can increase a products efficiency by up to 72%.
This also gives a higher concentration in the body for a longer period, as seen below...
Hour
Gastro-Resistant capsules also have the added benefit of reducing or eliminating any stomach related side effects that some users experience without them.
See the video below for full details...
No other Longjack product uses DRS capsules!
Please note the XTR DRS branding is no longer printed on the capsules to reduce costs, but the coating remains.
DRS caps are Vegetarian, Vegan, Halal and Kosher friendly and Non GMO.

Always work out the cost per gram!
A common marketing trick is to sell 30 capsules at a low price and state it's a 1 month supply, when in reality you will probably need more than 1 capsule per day. Another trick is to offer more capsules but with very little in them. Ignore the cost per bottle or capsule as it's not relevant! Only the grams per £/$ matters.
Beware of miss-leading milligram contents!
Some brands will put very small amounts of the herb in their capsules, then state the raw root equivalent in mg instead of the actual mg, which makes it look like a good deal. For example, Piping Rock state "1600mg per serving" on the front of their 20:1 product, for £16.25 per bottle. If you take the time to read the rear label however, you will see each serving size is 2 capsules at 80mg total, so just 40mg per cap, making it a whopping £3.38 per gram and one of the most expensive on the market, and it's not even standardised!
How do we offer such low prices?
PoweroftheHerb.com is a verified official re-seller for World A.B.S, and is able to offer prices much lower than the MSRP thanks to our bulk order savings, a large percentage of which is passed on to the customer. Far less profit is made by doing this, but more sales are gained which helps spread the word faster and also gives World A.B.S more bulk orders. Everyone's a winner! To this day nobody offers a better price per gram for a real standardised Tongkat extract that we are aware of
Trusted Independent Extraction & Testing Facilities.
World A.B.S demand high standards and consistent production quality, because of this they outsource their Tongkat Ali root extraction to a European based, AFNOR Certificated (cGMP) partner facility with over 35 years of experience in the extraction and purification of plant materials for use in the nutraceutical and health food industry.
No Fillers or Solvents!
No class 3 solvents such as methanol, ethanol or alcohol are used, just purified water. No fillers or binders are needed or used either, just clean extract.
The extract is freeze-dried, which prevents any heat damage traditional methods can suffer from and produces a higher quality fine powder.
The final extract is tested in the UK for contaminants such as Mercury and Lead by Intertek and for any microbiological issues such as Salmonella and E Coli by SGS.
The extract is then encapsulated in gastro-resistant DRS capsules, bottled up and labeled by UK based contract manufacturer XTR Nutrition on behalf of World A.B.S.
All of this ensures a high quality extract that's free from any dangerous contents and meets strict European safety standards.

Quality Begins at the Root!
Using high-quality extraction facilities and methods won't help much if the raw material is bad!
To source the finest roots, World A.B.S use an Indonesian based agent specialising in raw material sourcing, who visited several reputable growers and chipped root suppliers to inspect the available stock in person and negotiate prices on their behalf.
This extra but also important step in the supply chain ensures the best quality at a competitive price.
